In a widely expected move, Hillary Clinton named Dennis Ross as her Special Advisor to parts of Asia, including Iran.
It's worth noting that George Mitchell, the Middle East Envoy, reports to Obama, as does Richard Holbrook, the Special Representative for Afghanistan & Paksitan. Ross will report to Hillary (who, in theory, reports to Obama). Biden will be the point-man for all things Russia, whose influence extends to the entire region.
Confused? Hopefully Obama isn't.
